There appear to be almost uncountable video converter apps out there. I need to narrow down the choices. I have a specific task to perform and will not be routinely using the app. So the price should be cheap or free. My father does not have a computer. I have a MacBook with OS X Leopard. I also have Windows Vista but would prefer to not use this if possible. I want to convert some YouTube videos and burn them to a DVD so that my father can see them on his home dvd player and TV. We are in the US so we would need that format.
I do not know what all types of formats his DVD player will support.
I already use the Firefox plugin "DownloadHelper" and it works fine.
Now what I need to know is what app to download to convert the flv files and then burn them to a DVD. Do I need anything special to burn the DVD or is that something that is already installed on my Mac somewhere...an app that I have never used?
Just as an aside, if I am performing a Google search, I know to look for "flv" but I don't know what format is usually used on a DVD player for viewing on a TV otherwise, I would have been able to narrow my search on Google.
Thanks,
Linda
